Information
Shrub to high forest tree; branchlets glabrous. Leaves alternate, imparipinnate, 2–5(–8)-jugate, 8–40(–55) cm long; leaflets opposite or subopposite, drying greenish brown above, paler beneath, terminal and basal leaflets usually smaller than the other laterals; leaflet-blade narrowly to broadly elliptic or obovate, 2–20 cm long, 1–8 cm wide, emarginate or rounded to shortly acuminate at the apex, rounded to cuneate, often oblique at the base, coriaceous, glabrous, often with pitted glands on the upper surface, nervation indistinct, impressed, margin entire, sometimes slightly wavy; petiolule 1–40 mm, very variable within the species but fairly constant for each specimen; rachis terete. Flowers in terminal and axillary thyrses, inflorescence branches pubescent to glabrous; pedicels 1.5–10 mm long. Calyx 2–4.5 mm long, 2–5-lobed (often fissuring irregul­arly to give variable number of lobes), glabrous inside, glabrous to puberulent outside. Petals 5, imbricate, narrowly ovate to oblong, 3–7 mm long, 1–2.5 mm wide, subacute, puberulent outside, puberulent to pilose inside. Stamens from 1.5–3 mm long in female or bisexual flowers, up to 7 mm in male flowers; appendage 1/2–2/3 as long as the whole stamen, pilose with short free tip; anther ± 1 mm long, broadly elliptic. Disc annular to sub-cylindrical, 0.2–1.5 mm thick, 1.2–2.5 mm in diameter, furrows on outside to accommodate stamens, partially enveloping the ovary in male flowers. Ovary 0.8–1.5 mm long in female or bisexual flowers, reduced in male flowers; carpels 5, free, each containing 1 ovule; styles 0.3–2 mm long, cohering. Fruits drupaceous mericarps 1–3(–4) together on fruiting pedicels, ± ellipsoidal to oblong, apex obtusely pointed, base rounded, often slightly bicarinate and somewhat flattened, 15–35 mm long, 9–20 mm wide. Seed 1 per mericarp. Fig. 4.

Notes
The above synonyms of Quassia undulata were variously separated on the basis of length of petiolules, number and shape of leaflets or size of inflorescences and fruits. In some cases they have been maintained as distinct species by recent authors. Closer examination of the material available, however, leads me to agree with Nooteboom’s view (Blumea 11: 519 (1962)) that these characters are unreliable and that these species should all be considered conspecific. Nooteboom places Quassia undulata in his Quassia sect. Simaba .
